     I believe that this implementation should include the
authorization, authentication and probably the 'user profile' storage
or mapping. In a first stage an authentication model will be
implemented (i think) and then the authorization part ( and profile
storage/mapping {i hope so =)} ).

    I think that this implementation should be standards based, open
source and free of any specific product rules, in this case for the
LDAP part we need to include all the authentication mechanisms
(anonymous, simple {clear text passwords}, SASL and kerberos 4) in
some way, but i don't know exactly how will do that =/ (research in
progress ;)).

    Is my fist JIRA use too.
